RGB Scart Lead for TC-01

[vanpeebles]

I have a TC-01 on the way! From what I've read on line, I take it I can use a BBC scart cable, but I have to switch the internal jumper to RGB, and also connect a +5 line to the center pin of the video socket? Can you take it from the +5 on the floppy for example? Any pics of that mod?

There is a hardware manual on http://www.tatungeinstein.co.uk/front/mans.htm which apparently has a pin out and may have further details but not looked at it yet.

I made that mod, took the 5V from an adjoining socket which is the joystick IIRC. Do you like the 'dust' filter?

I'm guessing that the +5 is for the rgb switch on the TV?

[sirmorris]

I presume so, it didn't work without it.

Have you got a piccy yet please? I’m raring to go

Sorry, been a little ... pre-occupied. Done now!

[vanpeebles]

Oooh, thanks! I’ll give that a go! I had it working via rf on an old lcd tv last night

I've rigged up a lead and using a BBC Scart cable but no luck I get a brief rolling picture of the Einstein then a black screen.

I can't use my BBC cable as it has resistors in ... I use my Atom cable which doesn't. I wonder if this makes a difference for you too?
